how come u hear so much about carlingford and how aare they round at this time of year so far north? i would have thought it would have been the sth west lads who would still have the chance at this time of year
I have to agree with you there Liam. The temp on the east cast is 9C at the moment but 11.5 in the south west. Warmer is better!! -OF Course, there has to be bass in the first place!!!!
i think there is a critical point where they will go off the feed, i think it is a temp of 12 degrees but i am not 100%. neil frankish is the man for that kind of info!
i think they piss off into deeper water, and some reckon that they do in fact go off the feed, in the same way that a good hot sun warming up a beach on an incoming tide will turn them on the feed.
I read somewhere that the critical temp was about 5C - but the mean sea temp seems to be way above that - could it be that the bass stocks are declining even further???
ya see i told ya.no sight nor sound of him in the fly fishing section all yr but as soon as a bass off wicklow is mentioned there he is, sniffing around!!!!!!!!!
